She said: 'The signature tongue out is just the cutest thing, and his crooked features, if you look at his face closely you notice his ears aren't aligned right on his head. 'His quirks make him even cuter and more special.'

The pooch is now happily living in Massachusetts with his human and canine family. Murray's human sister, Mackenzie, set up an Instagram account for the unusual pup - to raise awareness of the condition and the importance of adoption.

She said: 'We made his Instagram when I left for college for friends and family to follow but over the past year he has gained a lot of followers and helped raise awareness of rescue dogs, The Sato Project and distemper.'

The pup has gained quite the following which his owner says proves that being different is also beautiful.

Mackenzie said: 'Murray is so special because of his personality, he is a survivor and has no idea anything is wrong with him and is always happy and wagging his tail.

He does and tries to do everything with his doggy siblings. 'We can't imagine our lives without Murray and are grateful to The Sato Project, and all that they do for the unwanted dogs in Puerto Rico.'
